Love you all, praying for you,
When was the last time you stopped everything and re-evaluated? God am I fulfilling the purpose you have for me in this season? Am I in the right place, doing the right thing, with the right people, and with the right heart? Does what I'm doing reflect what You are doing? Is the stuff I have, the stuff you want in my life? Do the things I have - that occupy my mind, that occupy my time, that occupy my space, and occupy my finances – reflect what you are calling me to do in this season? Are the things in my life right now, the things that you want to be there? Everything comes down to purpose. It’s what you are obeying God in. Not a list of do’s and don’ts – but the next step that He leads you - to fulfill the purpose for which He created you in your generation - and to train up the next. Have you ever identified a Roadblock – that won’t ever change – unless you change the foundational way you view life or your daily responsibilities and opportunities? World travelers who have experience, don’t carry the luggage of the lady in “Romancing The Stone.” The three suitcases, high heels, all of the things that you thought you needed, sometimes encumber you, not enrich you. Experienced travelers have learned the secret of traveling light. They bring only what they need – useful things, not unnecessary. Obviously you don’t live out of a suitcase, but when it comes to life, are the things that occupy you – an encumbrance or an enrichment? PiVAT and PRISM will reveal God’s plan – and your obedience helps you walk in it. But how quickly you get there, and how freely you move – depends on how light you are, how single-minded you are. If you asked Him, what might God say are some things in your life that need to go – to lighten the load – to make you more nimble, more steerable, more suitable, and more useful to the purpose that this trip is for, or this leg of the trip requires? I remember the scene of the film where the lead actor chucks her suitcase over the cliff – much to the chagrin of the leading actress, or knocks the heels off the pumps she was wearing – instantly converting them into useful flats… Sometimes God does that in our life – when are hanging onto some extra luggage, that slows us down, and steals our focus. He’s trying to tell us, that extra luggage has become baggage. Praying that if there is anything in your life that doesn’t fit this season, that doesn’t need to be there, that you will ask God, and be willing to chuck it, if He tells you. Praying that you would know what God wants for you in your life right now. Whether physical, relational, natural or spiritual. So you can move quickly, move freely, move purposefully, and move joyfully. Even when it’s time to rest – if you’re looking around for all your stuff, or are tripping over it – you lose the moment to enjoy the sunrise or sunset, the wind in the trees, or the light dancing on the water. Praying that you will always pick the right traveling partner. If you’ll trust Jesus with your time – He’ll set your course, if you trust Him with your mind – His Word – will enlighten the path ahead of you. Praying that you will ask Him if you have the right luggage for this trip, and the right companions, so He can tell you what’s needed, so you can focus on the road ahead of you, the beauty all around you, the horizon in front of you and the blessing of those He has ordained to walk with you – that nothing unnecessary would hinder you – so your purpose is fulfilled, and your joy will be full. Love you all, dad
